Fundraising Event Management

Q: Can the automation handle duplicate registrations?

Yes, the automation detects and merges duplicate attendee records automatically, ensuring clean contact data in the CRM without manual deduplication work.

Q: How are thank-you emails personalized?

The automation pulls attendee name, donation amount, and event details to customize each email. High-value donors receive different messaging based on their giving potential.

Q: What if someone makes a pledge verbally at the event?

Pledges can be entered into a simple form or spreadsheet during the event, and the automation will sync them to the CRM and include them in follow-up communications.

Q: Does the automation work with our existing CRM setup?

Yes, the automation connects to your CRM via standard integrations and maps data fields to match your current structure. No CRM changes are required.

Keep every fundraising event on track without drowning your team in spreadsheets, emails, and manual donor follow-up.

Sync attendee registrations automatically from event platform to CRM in real time

Deduplicate and validate contact information across all data sources

Send personalized thank-you emails immediately after event completion

Classify donors by giving potential and create deal records automatically

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Event Registration Receivedtrigger

A new registration arrives and triggers the automation workflow. The attendee data is captured in real time.

2. Sync Attendee

The attendee record is automatically created or updated as a contact. Email, name, and ticket tier are mapped to the contact record.

3. Send Welcome Email

A personalised welcome email is sent to the attendee with event details, parking information, and agenda.

4. Classify Donation Intent

The automation reviews the ticket tier and any notes to infer donation intent. High-value prospects are flagged for personal outreach.

5. Create Deal

A deal record is created for attendees with identified donation potential. The deal is linked to the contact and tagged with the event.

6. Log Event Attendance

Event attendance is automatically logged as an activity. The contact timeline is updated with the event date and ticket type.

7. Post Team Alert

A message is sent to the fundraising channel with a summary of new registrations and flagged prospects for the day.
